Ok, then I'll just point it at the webbug test page that does the =
tracking and use it like a webbug with a special url encoded into each =
pdf I email to you so I know which one you read.
The ways this nastyness can be used are limitless, it's simply a way to =
get your IE to a website I want it to go to.

All that does in the current IE version is display a red circle with a =
line through it on the status bar. You have to click on it to = temporarily
allow popups to get your popup windows to appear (which I = did after
looking at the page source). Killing IE got rid of the = windows.
